Wonderful Sentences

I have been learning how to copy and paste from our class writing flip charts to share our learning. I know how to insert bullet points and use the highlighting tool.

We Know That Wonderful Sentences Need:

• Detail (elaboration)
• Capital letters and full stops
• Punctuation (, ! ? “ “)
• Quality vocab - WOW words

WALT recognise different parts of speech.

• Nouns are naming words. eg. chair, book, July, Awhi
• Adjectives describe nouns. Eg. wooden chair, writing book, freezing July, lovely Awhi
• Verbs are doing words. Eg run, walk, jump, skip, chew
• Adverbs describe verbs. Eg. briskly running, slowly walking, jumping high, skipping
• happily and chewing noisily.

Example:   

The bird is angry.
The bird looks angry and very evil.

The cat is sad.
The black fluffy cat is sad because he is lost in the freezing cold forest.
